4000 dead, and all their relatives and friends suffering is not a drop of blood in the bucket.

Of course, and we weren't talking about the cost of soldiers lives lost and disrupted by the war. But Americans have frequently been called upon put their lives on the line for the liberation of other nations; it is to our credit that we do this.

The wars are going to cost us well over a $Trillion... and counting.

This is doubtful. As I indicated, the vast majority of that money flows back into our economy, so the net cost is significantly less than that.

But I'm glad you have some off the absurd claim that it is $3 Trillion. At least you look less stupid now than you did then.

>>> Obama SPENT less than 10% of the stimulus... will spend the other 90% and then it WILL work.

No nation on earth has ever spent its way into prosperity. Wild spending of money is not "stimulus". It is just wild spending.

The entire idea that you can improve an economy by sucking money out of it and redistributing by wasteful spending is ridiculous. It simply doesn't work. Just as it didn't work when FDR tried it, it has failed now that Obama has tried it.

Economic cycles happen. As surely as you can't stop a Florida hurricane, there isn't a damned thing you can do to stop a severe economic cycle. It will have to run its course.
